# Maximum allocation

The ceiling on how much simulated capital one trader may hold across every account with a firm. It is the real limit on how large a trader can get, and it is often lower than the largest account on sale suggests.

Also called: Allocation cap · Total allocation

GFN’s figure

GFN caps total allocation at $400,000 of simulated capital across all your accounts combined - two $200,000 accounts, four $100,000 accounts, or any mix up to the limit.

- **Maximum total allocation**: $400,000
- **Split**: Any combination of the sizes on sale
- **Drawdown**: Each account has its own metrics

Prohibited-behaviour rules apply across your whole profile: accounts must be traded independently, not coordinated against each other.

In detail

## Maximum allocation, explained

An allocation cap is a risk control on the firm's side, so it is usually stated per customer rather than per account. Holding several accounts is how a trader reaches it, and how they diversify across strategies at the same time.

Running multiple accounts also spreads breach risk: one account failing does not affect the others, provided each is traded independently rather than coordinated.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Scaling plan](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/scaling-plan) - A published schedule under which a firm increases an account's virtual capital as the trader meets profit and consistency milestones. Not every firm runs one, and the conditions vary widely.
- [Account size](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-size) - The virtual balance an account is denominated in. It scales every percentage rule into dollars, sets the fee, and determines how much a single pip of movement is worth to your objectives.
- [Virtual capital](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/virtual-capital) - The simulated balance an evaluation or funded account is denominated in. It sets the size of every percentage-based rule on the account, and it is not money held on the trader's behalf.
- [Account sharing](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-sharing) - Letting someone else trade your account, or trading an account belonging to someone else. It defeats the purpose of an assessment of an individual, and it is prohibited everywhere in the industry without exception.
- [Hedging](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/hedging) - Holding opposing positions in the same or correlated instruments so that one offsets the other. Used genuinely it manages exposure; used across accounts it is an attempt to game an evaluation.
